so and george w. bush won with 50.7%. i think the biggest event quite beyond either party's control is obviously the tragic of sandy's storm, the death and devastation it left in its wake. but at a time, judy, only elected executives, mayor, governors and presidents are legitimate spokespeople at a time like this. it is interesting, i didn't hear a single grover norquist small government champion at the time when the storm comes down and we're looking for help, we're looking for whether it's c-1 10b, 130s to bring in equipment, to deflood the city, all the way around. and i think the president stepped up and he got an unanticipated validation from governor christie. one of mitt romney's strongest supporters, the keynoter at the convention said the president has been excellent. he's been gone beyond, it's been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him. that fema had been phenomenal. and you will recall in the 2,000 debate, first debate jim lehrer asked george w. bush, tell us one good thing about bill clinton. >> fema an

i think he was pretty close to president george w. bush, as well. is not spoken a lot in terms of campaign literature but i think there has been some issues out there among evangelicals and some skepticism about governor romney's mormon faith and i think billy graham's blessing is an important signal that it is ok to vote for a mormon. there have been full page ads and so forth. i think that is a very important thing in terms of the romney folks for billy graham to give that signal. host:rob christensen is with us. he is talking to us from raleigh and you can read more of his writings at news observer.com. we want to get more input and conversation going with some of our viewers and listeners. in order to do that, pick up the phone or send us a message -- we have a special line for folks calling from north carolina -- you can also send us e-mails -- we are on facebook -- and you can also reach out to us through twitter -- you were telling me before we get on the air about what you have been doing or the last couple of days. review for us the last 24
